First Day

Rate this Entry
It's 6:40am. First day of my new job. I couldn't sleep at all this morning. My spelling will be worst than usual, please put up with it until I'm awake. I feel sick now and i don't know why, it could be a number of things. If you get dehydrated can you feel sick? My eyes are already tired. I have superglue on my thumb (I got the sticks for my home made hand held fan, it's a nifty little thing, maybe it should've been a bit bigger though. Oh well). Since I'm pretty nervous about this whole thing I wrote step by step instructions on how to get into the building, I'd have continued but what hapens after that depends on my bosses (seems there are two involved with this thing). I also wrote a checklist of things I need/want to take. And also, since I'm pretty nervous I decided to make a nice lunch to give me a little courage. 3 kinds of onigiri. Don't know why, I just fancied making some. Most of them are tuna-cucumber-mayonaise, a couple have little pieces of seasoned chicken instead and 4 (although I could only get 2 in the box) are sweet strawberry flavoured with little pieces of strawberry in the middle. There's 11 in total I think. I had to finish off the sweet rice last night after making them. I think it might have been a mistake. I put them in as a pudding . instead or nori (seaweed) I wrapped the sweet ones in rice paper. Ha.ha.ha.ha. The rice paper kind of melted and stuck to everything . Oh well. Better go and get ready.
Oh, forgot to say earlier. I've made 1000 cranes but it's not exactly complete yet, I need to find a way to hang them up.

    Good luck bluebiird, I'm sure you'll do just fine. The onigiri sound great. I always mess up the tuna mayo ones by putting too much mayonnaise in (too much filling in general!) but they still taste nice, if a little squishy.

    Yes, you can feel sick if dehydrated but a good slug of water should put you straight.

    Hope it works out well.

    A good lunch is always a help. You'll do just fine, I'm sure. Congrats about the cranes.

    I see I've missed a bit of new happenings. Congratulations Bluebird.

    Actually in about a month it will make 25 years since I've been at my job, and I still remember those first day nerves and chaos. It was some experience, and perhaps one day i will have to recount the story.
